La cultura del volcán
The book describes how Timanfaya changed the social history of the island and the cultural heritage of the national park.
Lanzarote has long been known as the island of volcanoes. That slogan sums up its scenic essence, but it is often forgotten that the momentous eruptions of the eighteenth century also contributed to modify and shape the island's culture. In the first place, because between 1730 and 1736 many villages, architectural elements, cultivated land, remains of the majos culture and even ports that had been key in previous centuries were buried.
This book explores the island that was lost under the lava fields, but also tells how the population approached the new and rough volcanic territory. This process of adaptation brought about unique cultural forms, both in terms of material heritage (agriculture, fishing, livestock, architecture, transport, tourism...) and immaterial heritage (ways of life, toponymy, religion, language, legends and the very image of the island). The culmination of this transformation was the recognition of Timanfaya as a national park, whose evolution is also analyzed.
This book is essential to understand the history and culture of Lanzarote, and also a tribute to its most humble and forgotten protagonists. Successive generations of islanders devised striking methods to relate to “the volcano”. This rich legacy should be known and valued in its rightful measure.

I absolutely love all the Latitude Fuego designs and our family has already several pieces with different designs, from tshirts to caps, but this one in particular, the Podenco one, stole my heart! As I am absolutely obsessed with Podencos- it was just a dream come true! I am in love with it! The design is amazing, the quality it amazing , the memory is forever ! Just love ❤️

Excelente. La calidad del algodón es asombrosa y el diseño es increíble.
Es nuestro regalo estrella para todos nuestros amigos.
¡Feliz feliz feliz con mi camiseta! la calidad es buenísima y el diseño maravilloso. No es la primera compra que hago ni será la última. ¡Enhorabuena por todo!!
Gorra de altísima calidad con lavado precioso que le da un look desgastado pero manteniendo el color vivo, me encantan las prendas de Latitud Fuego: duran y están producidas de forma ética.
soy diseñadora de prendas así que sé de lo que hablo cuando digo que estas camisetas son de lo mejor que he tenido nunca: la calidad óptima, duradera, resisten bien a los lavados y envejecen bonitas, los colores una caña y el diseño muy actual y encima unisex para compartir con el/la churri.
Además, producción en cercano, prendas éticas y sostenibles, creo que no se puede pedir más.
A very nice project by Geo and Zoe 🫶🏻Sustainable garments and accessories with designs inspired by surfing and life on the little island 🩵 Congratulations for the beautiful shop you've created 🤎
Amazing service and quality items! I have spotted a Latitud Fuego hat I liked in some physical shop in Teguise, Lanzarote, but haven't purchased it when I had a chance while travelling. After my holidays, I still wanted that hat, but on their website it was already sold out, so I messaged the shop via their instagram account, and the service I have received was impeccable! Not only they went above and beyond to locate one last remaining item in another physical shop, they were also very quick in responding and sorting out the shipment of the item outside of Canaries. Latitud Fuego representative was extremely friendly and fun to communicate with throughout my buying experience, and their items are truly one of the kind :) Great brand!
I love this shirt! I bought it in L-XL, and the oversized fit is just perfect for me (I usually wear S). Would definitely buy again!
Great quality and fit! With a beautiful color - highly recommend! :)
Un 10/10! Producto se calidad y con un diseño increible! Es mi tercera camiseta y nunca fallan! Sin duda volveré a comprar tanto por la calidad de sus productos como por el trato que tienen con los clientes!
